PALPITATIONS Symptoms and Causes

An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. It means that your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern. When the heart beats faster than normal, it is called tachycardia. When the heart beats too slowly, it is called bradycardia. The most common type of arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation, which causes an irregular and fast heart beat.

Many factors can affect your heart's rhythm, such as having had a heart attack, smoking, congenital heart defects, and stress. Some substances or medicines may also cause arrhythmias.

Symptoms of arrhythmias include

Fast or slow heart beat

Skipping beats

Lightheadedness or dizziness

Chest pain

Shortness of breath

Sweating

Your doctor can run tests to find out if you have an arrhythmia. Treatment to restore a normal heart rhythm may include medicines, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or pacemaker, or sometimes surgery.

PALPITATIONS Clinical Trials and Studies

Treatments might be new drugs or new combinations of drugs, new surgical procedures or devices, or new ways to use existing treatments. The goal of clinical trials is to determine if a new test or treatment works and is safe. Clinical trials can also look at other aspects of care, such as improving the quality of life for people with chronic illnesses. People participate in clinical trials for a variety of reasons. Healthy volunteers say they participate to help others and to contribute to moving science forward. Participants with an illness or disease also participate to help others, but also to possibly receive the newest treatment and to have the additional care and attention from the clinical trial staff.

The primary endpoint of the study is the proportion of patients achieving a definite diagnosis in each of the two groups at the end of one year; The time taken from randomisation in the A&E to making the diagnosis (if any) in each group; The cost of achieving a diagnosis in each group

The diagnostic yield of a Personal Heart Rhythm Monitor (PHRM), used for 3 months, compared to an automated cardiac event recorder (ACER), used for 1 week, to detect all episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.; The diagnostic yield of a Personal Heart Rhythm Monitor (PHRM), used for 3 months, compared to an automated cardiac event recorder (ACER), used for 1 week, to detect prolonged episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (defined as greater than 12 hours).; The sensitivity and specificity of serum biomarkers to detect cases of PAF.; The sensitivity and specificity of markers of left atrial function to predict PAF.; The development of AF in a cohort confirmed to have frequent atrial ectopic beats (APBs) over a one year period.; Adverse events (including stroke/TIA, myocardial infarction, significant bleeding events and death) at six and twelve month intervals.; Stroke reduction in the local area; Referrals to secondary care for suspected AF/Palpitations; Participant satisfaction with the devices used in the study.
